coat drive

The season of Thanksgiving is upon us! As autumn makes its way into southeastern Texas, it often brings with it concerns about keeping warm as temperatures fall. Sadly, there are those in and around our community who may not have the items needed to stay warm during the cooler seasons.  In response, the Prairie View A & M pantherTERM is hosting a Bobcat Coat Drive to help out.

Do you have gently used clothes, blankets, socks, or jackets you no longer need? Have your children outgrown their warm winter coats? Are you feeling benevolent and would like to donate newly purchased clothes, blankets, socks, or jackets? All of these items would be greatly appreciated to help families in our area stay warm and cozy as the weather cools.

The event will take place on November 3, 2023, @ 6:15 p.m. at Bobcat Stadium. There will be donation boxes available at the Bobcat Stadium gate. Drop off your donations as you arrive for the Hempstead v Columbus football game that evening. All items collected will be donated to The House of Help which in turn will help them meet the needs of those in and around our community.
